Teams Philadelphia Eagles - The Gold Standard

[Jatz]

That’ll be interesting to monitor. Hopefully nothing.

Barkley probably helps cover the loss of AJ. Amazing how much he brings to the offense really.

[Jatz]

I’d forgotten about that. My ribs feel broken just watching it…

 

[kaiserchief13]

Would that be a flag these days? Hit him too hard?

 

[Jatz]

Very early in the season but a chance to go a game up on Detroit, SF and Dallas is delicious.

 

[Jatz]

Oh and AJ has been ruled out. Big loss.

It's a pity but there's a heap of talent on offence & really this is one game we should be able to be confident of a win. & a chance to get a look at Dotson.

Yep, very much looking forward to seeing Dotson get a bigger role.

This weeks results have me more nervous for tomorrow. And certainly about facing the Saints next week.

Falcons first though.

 

[Southerntakeover]

The team is still a complete shambles. They cannot stop making obvious mistakes. Nicks got to be fired.

 

[Jatz]

Where to even begin with that.

The defense on their game winning drive was appalling.

Should never have got to that though.

Drop the Saints game with a poor performance & the pressure will be intense.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Hurts sucks. He never leads game winning drives with field goal to win with time expiring. He can't do it unless he has the threat of a run. He is no good.

Barkley, that drop is simply unforgivable. That drop gave Falcons a chance and then the useless defence took over.

Unbelievable loss that.

The defensive line is the worst it's been in 15 years. Huff is a bust signing, Davis a bust top 10 pick, Carter basically invisible.

The team build failed. Bad work Howie.

 

[rumply]

Only saw the last 6 minutes so assume there was little to get excited about all game.

Vic presser will be interesting - zero pressure on Kirk, zero pressure on any receivers until the redzone & even then...what were they doing??

Hard to see us winning that based on the form we've seen so far.

Would like to think we'll lift. I don't subscribe to it all being doom and gloom but there's a shitload of things we need to be working on.

Our game plan was to stand there and watch them complete their way up the field.

We've been trash for like 13 games. What does it take to convince you that we're trash at this point?

 

[Constantgin]

Kamara next week is likely to have 200 yards rushing 100 yards recieving and 6 tds if DL keeps not showing up.

Yeah not jumping off after a poor week 2 loss. The new coordinators deserve time to get things right but that last Falcons drive was something to behold. Pitiful.

 

[MIKE85]

Why didn’t we take the field goal in the first?? Surely you take the points rather than a turn over on downs?

On the TD drive in 2nd quarter wasn't there a 4th down conversion? You take 7 points (1 TD) instead of 6 points (2 x FG).

I don't think you can blame anyone for this loss other than Barkley, Hurts and the defence. This game reminds me of the Seattle game last year. The defence just can't get it done at the end of close games (whether that's coaching or players who knows?) and Hurts simply can't lead a game winning drive, even just into FG range for a FG attempt.

I no longer care about last year. 13 games is irrelevant. New coordinators as well as a shiny new Barkley on the offense.

They've now put them in a position where they'll have to show a lot more against the Saints - so be it. I believe they're capable of playing a shitload better.

It's not irrelevant if the same players keep doing the same things.

It couldn't be more relevant.

So what's your big solution? Change everything after 2 weeks?

You don't like Jalen - what are you doing with him?

 

[Jatz]

I'm normally right there with you on the pessimistic train but I'd rather give it more than a fortnight after they've had no pre season (don't start me on that).

Making me feel like George from last season
